Aztec Conquest

You forgot the diseases that the Europeans brought, they were the true real reason for the Tenochtitlan defeat!

yeah but diseases don't physically fight battles now do they......

They wiped out 90% of the population - prior to the direct contact and the 'Malinché(s)*' being used by the conquistadors, against the Aztec nation.

*Some historical review suggests that Malinché herself may have been given a bad rap.

Right, but the point of the meme IS the Spainiards didn't have to do much so........

Recruiting an indigenous mercenary army - ain't nothing... And they were the intellectual authors of the Aztecs' defeat, regardless of the soldiers used... But I get your point.

To be fair, Hernán Cortés was very determined. After the Spaniards were trapped in an alleyway where their horses could not give them the advantage, the Mexica wiped out alwost 2/3 of the Spainish men. However, it wasn't their objective to kill all the men in an army like the Europeans did, so they left Cortés when he fled. This was a mistake, as he took great effort in rallying up the Tlaxcala to make ships an rise up against Tenochtitlan.
But in the end, the multiple pandemics wiped out most of the Mexica people anyway.
